Financial Statement (Form 13)

Read the Financial Statement Kit and then carefully complete each section. The Financial Statement Kit is the same as the Financial Statement (Form 13), but has additional information to help you complete the form.

You must make a full and frank disclosure of your financial position, and there are penalties for making false statements. See the Disclosure page for more information.

Filing the application

Make two photocopies of the completed forms and affidavit, and file the forms at the Registry by post or in person.

Once the applications has been processed and filed, the copies will be returned by post within a few days. These copies are for serving on the other party, and will show the date of your first hearing.

Application Fee

There is a fee for filing an application for Property and Financial orders. Visit the fees page for more information.

What happens next?

Once the documents have been filed, you need to serve them on the other parties. You need to serve applications by special service. See the service page for more information.

Court staff will allocate a date for a Procedural Hearing at the time your application is filed. This will usually be about 6 weeks later. If you reach an agreement with the other party in that time, the Judicial Officer will be able to finalise the proceedings.

Reaching an agreement

You can also reach an agreement with the other party at any time. Filing an application doesn't lock you into taking your case to trial, and you can ask the Court to make formal orders based on your agreement.

You can let the judicial office know your agreement at the hearing, or file a Minute of Consent Orders signed by all parties and ask a Court Registrar to deal with the case in his or her office.
